[1114] Ezekiel (xxvii. 13, 19) is the first to give the name Javan,
_i.e._ ΙαϜων, or Ionian (earlier writers name Egypt, Edom, Arabia
and Phœnicia as the great slave-markets: Amos i.; Isa. xi. 11; Deut.
xxviii. 68); and Greeks are also mentioned in Isa. lxvi. 19 (a
post-exilic passage); Zech. ix. 13; Dan. viii. 21, x. 20, xi. 2; 1
Chron. i. 5, 7, and Gen. x. 2. See below, Chap. XXXI.
[1115] בני היונים instead of בני יון, just as the Chronicler gives
בני הקרחים for בני קרח: see Wildeboer, p. 348, and Matthes, quoted by
Holzinger, p. 94.
[1116] Movers, _Phön. Alterthum._, II. 1, pp. 70 _sqq._: which
reference I owe to R. Smith’s art. in the _Encyc. Brit._
[1117] With these might be taken the use of קהל (ii. 16) in its sense of
a gathering for public worship. The word itself was old in Hebrew, but
as time went on it came more and more to mean the convocation of the
nation for worship or deliberation. Holzinger, pp. 105 f.
[1118] Cf. Neh. x. 33; Dan. viii. 11, xi. 31, xii. 11. Also Acts xxvi.
7: τὸ δωδεκάφυλον ἡμῶν ἐν ἐκτενεία νύκτα καὶ ἡμέραν λατρεύον. Also the
passages in Jos., XIV. _Ant._ iv. 3, xvi. 2, in which Josephus mentions
the horror caused by the interruption of the daily sacrifice by famine
in the last siege of Jerusalem, and adds that it had happened in no
previous siege of the city.
[1119] Cf. Jer. xiv. 12; Isa. lviii. 6; Zech. vii. 5, vi. 11, 19, with
Neh. i. 4, ix. 1; Ezra viii. 21; Jonah iii. 5, 7; Esther iv. 3, 16, ix.
31; Dan. ix. 3.
[1120] The gathering of the Gentiles to judgment, Zeph. iii. 8 (see
above, p. 69) and Ezek. xxxviii. 22; the stream issuing from the Temple
to fill the Wady ha-Shittim, Ezek. xlvii. 1 ff., cf. Zech. xiv. 8; the
outpouring of the Spirit, Ezek. xxxix. 29.
[1121] _Z.A.T.W._, 1889, pp. 89-136. Holzinger’s own conclusion is
stated more emphatically than above.
